NAME

fddistat − FDDI Management Information Base (MIB) utility

SYNOPSIS

fddistat [ -h?bBLGqvV ][ -cseconds ][ -ddevice ]

fddistat [ -gatt_get ][ -Datt_set ] [ -cseconds ][ -ddevice ]

fddistat [ -satt_get ][ -Datt_set ] [ -ddevice ]
 
 

DESCRIPTION

The fddistat utility allows a system administrator to get or set any of the parameters in the Managment Information Base (MIB) which is a standard set of parameters/command options for an FDDI station.  In addition, it provides the ability to retrieve version information about the hardware, firmware, and software. 

MIB attributes

A list of the FDDI (SMT 6.2) MIB attributes can be obtained with the command fddistat -vvL.  Each attribute is given a number and is followed by the name of the attribute, whether it is read/write, and a short description.  The subsequent lines contain the parameters within each of the attributes.  Listed for each parameter is a description, its type, range, and default value (if any) in brackets for writable parameters.  If the parameter is a bit-string or an enumeration, all possible values of the parameter are listed. 
 
 

OPTIONS

-b Output a vertical bar to be used as a seperator between parameters when using the -q option to display a line of raw information. 

-c Display the information requested on the command line every seconds. 

-ddevice Used to specify the special device file to access.  The default is /dev/m385_c0d0. 

-Datt_set This allows you to change the value of a global parameter.  It is most useful when used to set an index: -DMACIndex=4

-gatt_get Retrieve and display a single of group of MIB attributes. 

-G Retrieve and display all MIB attributes. 

-h | -? This option displays the help screen.  It is a short list of the options and their usage. 

-lattrib Describe a single MIB attribute. 

-L Describe all MIB attributes. 

-sset_att Set a MIB attribute. (requires write access to device)

-v Specify one or more for increasingly detailed amounts of information. 

-V Retrieve and display version information about the software, driver, firmware, and hardware in use.
